Quick question regarding Mogul vs. iPhone touch screens..

[jbbosu]

I've been wondering about this for days and have already googled without success.

What are they general differences between our Moguls' touch screen and that of the iPhone??

I'm using S2U2 (the iPhone-like slide to unlock app) and I love it. However, it's no where close to being as sensitive and smooth as the iPhone's. Are Moguls geared more for stylus and iPhones fingers only? Thanks for the input.

2nd quick question:

Would it be safe to assume that the next PPC from sprint/HTC will have a larger screen? Even if we had a Safari type browser, the text would be too small to read and view the whole page in its entirety.


Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, the iPhone uses a capacitive touch screen. As opposed to sensing pressure, it senses, I believe, the heat or energy given off by your fingers. That allows for it to be much more sensitive and smoother, but possibly at the loss of accuracy (don't quote me on this part). It also allows it to sense multiple touch points at once, while the more common type that our phone uses merely senses the average point of contact (if the pressure's in two places at once, it assumes the middle). The iPhone is, overall, drastically better for touch, and this is one place the WM-based phones have a long way to go.

And no, I don't think it would be safe to assume a larger screen. HTC's stuck to this size screen for a while, so although it's quite possible, it's far from a definite thing. But your logic isn't sound on reasoning. The iPhone's screen is also too small to read the text and view the page in its entirety. That's why when viewing the page in its entirety you still have to zoom in on the area you actually want to read. The Opera Mini browser that works on the Mogul works the same way (and beautifully, I might add).
